Research InterestsTheoretical biology: with a recent focus on how and to what extent human-caused environmental change differs from the continual shifts the Earth has always experienced, Bertram builds models to show how complex biological systems respond to, interact with, and change their environments.

Research Interestsdevelopment of the soy-derived peptide, Lunasin, as a cancer chemoprevention agent and therapeutic and the use of pharmacologic doses of ascorbic acid as an adjuvant treatment to enhance cancer therapies

Research InterestsMigration patterns: through the lens of bird migratory patterns, Jahn investigates how ecosystems are changing because of environmental change and what that means for human health, food security, and environmental resilience.

Research Interestscommunity ecology and evolutionary ecology: how plant populations respond to human-caused environmental change, the ecology and evolution of species interactions, and natural selection in the wild

Research InterestsInvasive species ecology: through biological and community-focused perspectives, Muthukrishnan conducts research to understand, predict, and help control and prevent the spread of invasive species in Indiana and beyond.

Research InterestsSpecies distribution modeling: Title creates mathematical models to test theories about how species diversify, adapt, and become extinct. This work helps guide efforts to protect ecologically important species in Indiana by indicating how a particular species is likely to respond to different types of environmental change.
